Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic put the world's laboratories under pressure. Here's how lab technicians worked to overcome the initial challenges.
This application note demonstrates how PIPETMAX® 268 and PIPETMAX® 278 workstations automate qPCR plate preparation to support consistent amplification efficiency, reliable standard curves, and reproducible Ct values across multiple gene targets. By reducing operator-dependent variability in critical pipetting steps, both systems deliver strong linearity and repeatable performance for accurate and efficient qPCR setup in low- and mid-throughput workflows.
Automation doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire workflow. This article explores how task-based automation helps laboratories automate specific steps, like plate setup, normalization, or sample preparation, to improve consistency, reduce errors, and scale workflows such as qPCR, NGS, and ELISA more efficiently.
Discover how qPCR Assistant, paired with PIPETMAX® 268 and PIPETMAX® 278, simplifies automated qPCR setup for tens or hundreds of samples, with no programming required. Create singleplex or multiplex protocols, manage sample data with ease, and eliminate manual entry errors. With optimized plate setup, flexible automation, and support for various qPCR cyclers, this intuitive tool boosts reproducibility, traceability, and efficiency in your lab. Learn how to build and run your own workflows in minutes.
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a cornerstone of molecular biology, used for applications ranging from gene expression analysis to pathogen detection. However, accurate qPCR results depend on precise liquid handling, making pipetting a critical yet time-consuming step.
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is essential for gene expression analysis and pathogen identification in life science labs. While qPCR is sensitive, its plate preparation is time-consuming and requires skilled technicians. Automation enhances efficiency and reproducibility. This study compared manual pipettes, the semi-automated TRACKMAN® Connected, and the fully automated PIPETMAX® 268 liquid handler. All tools provided precise results with varying degrees of automation. Choose manual, semi-automated, or fully automated solutions to optimize processes, improve traceability, reduce errors, and free up time for critical tasks.
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a powerful and highly sensitive method of amplifying genetic material, with applications ranging from diagnostics and forensics to research.
However, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your qPCR experiments can be challenging — even the smallest amount of contamination or failure to adhere strictly to liquid handling best practices can substantially impact your results.
So, what can you do to maximize your chances of delivering highly accurate qPCR results, time after time? In this article, we share our top 5 tips for qPCR success.
The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has transformed the world of molecular biology methodology by enabling fast, high-throughput detection and quantification of DNA and RNA in real time. PIPETMAX 268 is specifically designed to maximize reproducibility and accuracy in qPCR workflows. Here, we explore three ways that PIPETMAX 268 can help you run more effective and efficient experiments.
qPCR plays a vital role in addressing today’s healthcare questions, with applications ranging from gene expression analysis to mutagenesis studies, and contamination is a significant concern. So, how can you ensure the integrity of your qPCR samples? This article explores where contamination arises from, and how to identify it. To improve sample integrity, we highlight approaches you can take to minimize contamination.
To handle increased sampling demand around the world, more labs are moving to automated liquid handling systems. Here’s why you should consider them too.
